I don't want anyone to get alarmed.
I know you've probably never seen one of these before, but it goes by [C#] itself. _ _
Now _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ my friends are gone, and my hair is gray.
I hate in the places where I used to play, and [F#] I'm crazy for love.
_ _ But I'm not [C#] coming on.
_ _ _ _ I'm [G#] just paying my rent every [F#] day in the Tower [C#] of Sol.
_ _ _ _ I said to Hank Williams, how lonely does it get? _
Hank Williams hasn't answered me yet, but [F#] I hear him coughing
_ _ all [C#] night long.
I'm not coming _ _ on.
Yeah, [G#] a hundred floors above [F#] me in the Tower [C#] of Sol.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ You're very kind, Hank. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I [C#] was born like this. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
The gift of a golden voice. _
[F#] I'm not coming on.
From the great [C#] beyond.
I'm not coming on.
_ _ Yeah, [G#] they tied me to this table [F#] right here in the Tower [C#] of Sol.
_ _ _ _ _ So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll.
I'm very sorry, baby.
Doesn't look like me at all.
[F#] I'm standing by the window _ where the light [C#] is strong.
_ _ _ _ They [G#] don't let a woman kill [F#] you, not in the Tower [C#] of Sol.
_ _ _ _ Now you can say that I've grown bitter, but of this you may be sure.
The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor.
[F#] There's a mighty judgment coming, _ but I may [C#] be wrong.
_ _ _ _ _ You [G#] see, you hear these funny voices [F#] _ in the Tower [C#] of Sol.
_ _ _ _ _ I [A#m] _
see you standing [G#] on the other side.
[A#m] I don't know how the [G#] river got this wide.
[F#] I loved you, baby.
_ _ _ Way [C#] back when.
_ _ _ _ And [A#m] all the bridges are burning [G#] we might have crossed.
But I [A#m] feel so damn close [G#] to everything we lost.
[F#] We'll never, _ _ never have to lose [G#] it again.
_ _ _ So [C#] I bid you farewell.
I don't know when I'll be back.
They're moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track.
But [F#] you'll be hearing from me, darling, _ long after [C#] I'm gone.
_ _ I'll _ [G#] be speaking to you sweetly [F#] from my window in the Tower [C#] of Sol.
_ _ _ _ _ Yeah, my friends are gone and my hair is gray.
I eat in the places I used to play.
[F#] And I'm crazy for love.
_ _ _ [C#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G#] I'm just paying my rent [F#] every day in the [C#] Tower of Sol. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Don't stop.
_ _ Don't leave me here alone.
_ _ Don't ever stop. _ _
_ _ _ Take me to bed and take me through the morning.
_ _ _ _ Because _ _ I'm so grateful to you because tonight _
_ _ it's become clear to me. _ _
Tonight the great mysteries have _ unraveled.
And _ I've penetrated to the very core of things.
_ _ _ And I have _ stumbled on the answer.
_ _ And I'm not the sort of chap that would keep this to himself. _
_ _ _ _ Do you want to hear the answer?
_ _ _ _ _ _ Are you truly hungry for the answer? _ _ _
_ _ _ Then you're just the people I want to tell it to.
_ _ _ Because it's a rare thing to come upon this.
_ I'm going to let you in on it now. _
The answer to the mysteries. _
